When I bought my used LX450 I was queezy on the 2-hour drive home. All the thing did was sway side to side which later I discovered was normal for the LX due to really soft suspension components. EEK! How could any old fart drive that thing daily? I can see how a 2.5" OME suspension would be a huge improvement (for most) despite some change in dynamics. My LX is at 7+" and while it doesn't make me queezy it rides like XXXX though it handles OK with the front arm change. High speeds? I fear for the possible emergency manuever as my track is still at stock.

On a 100? The OEM ride was very good, controlled, though a tad on the soft side (for me). Adding a OME lift and taking it up a tad to the max (2.75", etc) firms the ride and in my opinion without changing the dynamics much at all. I preferred the high speed highway ride though the quick turn-ins around town left a desire for a bit more down travel. Lane changes are better with OME.

Sorry though....I cannot believe the verbage I read regarding the upper arm/caster change ON THIS VEHICLE, the 100. I would have believed reading a "small improvement was made on highway", but that't it. I could be wrong though I don't buy it. We're not talking about a 6" lifted 100 that had bad caster before the upgrade. If the improvement on his truck was that great then I question the setup and/or technical issue before the change. Maybe the Fox shocks, though all we heard about when they went on was how great they handled. ???
